Cool New Device for your Computer I found the coolest device, you gotta hear about this. I installed it last night and it's incredible. It is a Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000. Meant for laptops, you can just as well use it for your desktop, or even switch back and forth, or, do like I'm gonna do order two . one for each computer. What's so special about it? It is a MAGNIFYING GLASS! That's right, one button click, and you have this little magnifying glass you can move around the screen to read fine print easily or just make it all easier to SEE things. And it's all adjustable, make the area bigger, or the amount of magnification stronger. BTW, 4 way scrolling and snap in USP tab that turns the battery off. Geez! The wonders of science. Don't you just love it? I don't know about you, but I'm a baby boomer, and just like everybody else in my family, my 20/20 vision started to slip a little once I reached the big 4-0. This cool new item from Microsoft, well, I just had to have it!

Send Your Kid to Driving School My niece Krista was killed in a car crash yesterday. She was the "shining star" of a large and growing clan of a family. Just 14 years old, she had already toured the University of Florida at Gainesville, with high hopes for attending after graduation, perhaps going into veterinary. Krista was a sweetie, a gorgeous girl with a very sharp mind. Honor roll student, well loved and respected by her teachers and many friends, cheerleader, no drugs, no alcohol. Just a bright star in our lives. And the absolute apple of her Grandpa's eye. And her Grandmother, Mimi, and Great-Grandma Faye. Her Mom and Dad, of course, are devastated. Oh, what a sad day this is; my family has been damaged forever. Krista died because of the inexperience of the 16 year old driver of the car she was riding in. No substance abuse involved. He had his license for a month, apparently was excited about it, and just wanted to take her for a ride. Now, I know they say that shit just happens, and if your ticket is up, it's your time. But I can't help but think that more training just might have made this kid a better driver and just might have prevented this tragic event. I made both of my children attend formal defensive driving training courses, at the tune of $300+ each, when they got their permits. It was a small price to pay for whatever edge it might give them in the highway wars. Will you turn your kid loose with a deadly weapon (car) without doing the same? Krista, you will be sorely missed. We'll see you again one day.

Here's My Card...
There you are at a party. You sort of hit it off with someone, interesting conversation. You're intrigued, and would like to get to know them better. But the party's ending, and the opportunity may well be lost. Now what? You hate to ask for his phone number, and certainly won't offer yours (too forward). You can avoid this whole awkward moment by exchanging business cards. Just casually ask, "May I have your business card"? And, you have done your homework, you are prepared, and you have your own card to offer. What a classy way to give a guy your phone number! And this advice goes for you guys, as well. Don't have a business card? Don't have a business to even base a card on? No problem. Follow our instructions for coming up with a great card idea, and then printing it up on your own computer...

THE DONKEY IN THE WELL
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down into the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off! Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up. Remember the five simple rules for happiness: 1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive. NOW ............. Enough of that crap. The donkey later came back and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock. MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON: When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.
